Nintendo did something rather weird last year. They publicly announced that they were not going to publicly announce anything about either the new Legend of Zelda game for Wii U, or their next console, the NX, until 2016.

Like it or not, even the best of events have to come to an end, which was also the natural faith of CES 2016. It was a reasonably eventful show and while we didn’t get much in terms of new flagships there was plenty of new hardware in Las Vegas.
Below is an extensive table of all the things we spotted at the venue and deemed intriguing and relevant enough to share. As far as handsets go, Huawei brought a few devices to show and we were also lucky enough to be able to play around with each of them and share our first hands-on impressions. These were the Huawei Honor 5X and Mate 8, both not making a first appearance, but still fresh additions to the OEM’s lineup. Then there is the new 10.0-ich MediaPad M2 tablet and two now exclusive shades of the Huawei Watch.
LG didn’t disappoint either with a couple of new mid-range offers. The K7 and K10 might not impress with particularly beefy specs sheets, but they represent the start of a brand new line of LG handsets for the masses. Moving on, there is ZTE with another pair of new models. The ZTE Avid Plus and ZTE Grand X 3 are admittedly underwhelming in the hardware department with their Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chips, but still have some interesting features to offer, like a USB Type-C connector on the latter, all at a really low price point.
Speaking of budget solutions, Alcatel made sure to refresh its lineup for 2016 as well and in keeping with its long-standing market strategy, it made sure to roll out as many new options as it can. You can check out the new Pixi 4 lineup, as well as the OneTouch models for yourselves, but don’t fixate on the enclosed specs too much, as they will surely morph and change as these devices eventually make their way into carrier offers.
For other cool and interesting tech, check the table below.

Antes, si por alguna razón poseías un dispositivo de Apple y después de un tiempo querías probar algo nuevo porque terminabas cansado de su restrictivo ecosistema, el paso de iOS a Android era bastante lioso. De hecho, hasta hace poco existían pocas opciones, aunque las había. No obstante, muchas de las alternativas ya disponibles requerían hacer uso de un alto grado de paciencia, ya que no era un proceso simple y rápido.
Afortunadamente, para todos aquellos usuarios hastiados del sistema operativo de la manzana mordida, Apple ha sucumbido bajo la presión de varias compañías de telecomunicaciones europeas. En este artículo del periódico The Telegraph, informan que han conseguido hablar con una fuente perteneciente a la industria, y les ha relatado que dentro de poco será mucho más fácil hacer la transición de iOS a Android.
Resultará sorprendente para más de uno, pero sí, Apple ha acordado crear un herramienta que simplificará el proceso de cambiar de iPhone a un Android. Esta estrategia surge después de que varias firmas de telecomunicaciones se quejaran de la elevada dificultad que supone cambiar entre los dos ecosistemas. Según las compañías de telecomunicaciónes móvil, estos impedimentos surgen principalmente del lado de Apple, y debilitan el poder de negociación de los operadores.
Debido a las molestias y dificultad que supone transferir información desde iOS a Android, una muy reducida cantidad de usuarios realizaban ese cambio, lo que hacía depender demasiado a los operadores móviles de Apple. Por este motivo, la firma con sede en California ha decidido tomar la decisión fácil y desarrollar la herramienta, optando por no involucrar de esta manera a la comisión europea, conocida por sus duros castigos a compañías como Google, por técnica anti-competitivas.
Esta nueva herramienta podría tomar varias formas, pudiendo ser algo parecido a la aplicación “Pasar a iOS”, pero viceversa. Asimismo, no hemos sido informados todavía de una fecha concreta de lanzamiento de la herramienta, puesto que Apple ni siquiera ha confirmado la existencia de ésta públicamente. En cualquier caso, habrá que esperar para ver como se desarrolla el asunto.
Como hemos señalado previamente, ya existen algunas herramientas preparadas para hacer la transición de iOS a Android, sin embargo Apple es una compañía que nunca ha facilitado el proceso de cambio y abandono de su ecosistema. Así, lo que persigue es mantener a sus usuarios confinados en su sistema operativo.
¿Qué te parece la estrategia de Apple? ¿Alguna vez has tenido que realizar el cambio entre sistemas?
¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por Migrar de iPhone a Android será más fácil gracias a Apple para dejar tu huella.

The big four US carriers hog most of the attention, but it’s important to remember that there are plenty of smaller carriers and prepaid options as well. AT&T GoPhone is one of the more notable prepaid options from (you guessed it) AT&T, offering customers an affordable prepaid option.
This past Friday, GoPhone bumped up the 4G data offerings on two of its plans, allowing customers to get a bit more data for the same price. The $45 plan has had its data amount boosted to 2GB from the previous 1.5GB allotment. The $60 plan has increased from 4GB of 4G data to 5GB. Both plans still include unlimited talk and text.
The increases may be small, but they allow customers to get a bit more bang for their buck, which is what most prepaid customers are looking for. Check out more at the source link below.

As we inch our way closer to the inevitable unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge in February, there’s still a lot of confusion regarding the specifications of the two phones. We’ve seen conflicting specs sheets from multiple rumors, but a new screenshot from an AnTuTu benchmark test may finally clear things up for us. If the screenshot is real, the SM-G935A (Samsung Galaxy S7 edge) in question is equipped with a 5.1-inch 2560×1440 display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and its Adreno 530 GPU, 12-megapixel main camera, 5-megapixel front-facing camera, 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The main difference between the screenshot and previous rumors is the size of the phone’s display. Multiple rumors have claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge would feature a 5.2-inch or a 5.5-inch display. We’ve even seen technical diagrams of the phone that “confirm” these claims. Unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing which rumors are correct and which are not. We do know that Samsung is working on a few different variations of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, so it’s understandable that there’s a lot of confusion regarding screen sizes.

Xiaomi has spent the last couple of years building a name for itself, and a large part of that has come from putting powerful specs in devices with low price points. The Xiaomi Redmi 3 is the company’s latest example of that. It offers specs such as a 5-inch 720p display and octa-core Snapdragon processor for the equivalent of just over $100 USD.
Diving into the specs, you’ll find a 5-inch 720p display, octa-core Snapdragon 616 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage plus a microSD card slot, 13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front-facing camera, 4100mAh battery with fast charging capability and dual-SIM card slots, though one of them doubles as the microSD card port. On the software side, the Redmi 3 runs MIUI 7, though the base Android version is unclear.
All of that comes at a price of just RMB 699, or about $106 USD. That price gives the Redmi 3 far more bang for your buck than nearly any other smartphone. The downside of the matter is that, for now, Xiaomi is only launching the Redmi 3 in China. Nonetheless, we’ll be sure to keep you informed if the company decides to expand availability to other countries as well.
